Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the MCU, is known for being funny and playful on and off set. He joined the Marvel universe in Thor in 2011 and became a major part of the Avengers cast. Fans often see him joking around in interviews and behind-the-scenes clips. Off-screen, he is close to his co-stars, who showed him lots of support after his accident.
But when Elizabeth Olsen joined the MCU in Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015, she admitted that Jeremy Renner intimidated her at first. In an interview, she said she felt uneasy around him because of his dry humor and straightforward personality. She was also struggling with her new role as Wanda Maximoff and learning to control her powers, which made everything feel overwhelming.
Despite her initial fear, Jeremy helped Elizabeth feel more comfortable in the role. She asked him how he handled the chaos of filming, and he shared how he connected to his character through his family and personal grounding. That advice helped her find something tangible to focus on, making her more confident in the role.
Since then, Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen have worked together several times, including Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Endgame, and even the non-MCU film Wind River. Their professional bond has grown strong over the years, even if it started with a little intimidation.
